The Trump administration has dismantled the US Agency for Global Media, which it has criticized as 'radical propaganda.' The executive order signed by President Trump commands the dismantling of seven federal agencies, including the US Agency for Global Media, which serves as the parent of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. The move has resulted in the termination of jobs for 1,300 journalists, producers, and support staff. The White House claims that the executive order will ensure that taxpayers are no longer funding radical propaganda.
